AR for Warehouses: a Marker-based Augmented System for Navigation and Inventory Management

Abstract

This study investigates using augmented reality (AR) to assist warehouse operators. By employing head-mounted displays (HMDs), the AR application overlays relevant navigational information and inventory data directly onto the user’s field of vision, enabling a hands-free interaction system that creates a more efficient workflow. Incorporating a marker-based AR architecture offers precise item localization and navigation support, addressing common issues such as time-consuming item checks and potential navigational errors while moving in the warehouse. Through the assistance of these processes, the AR system aims to enhance the efficiency and precision of warehouse operations. This research highlights the advantages and potential challenges of implementing AR solutions in industrial settings, emphasizing the need for innovative warehouse logistics and management approaches.
